Well, aren't league totals only trying to 'corral' the stat output of the majors level? That is how I understood it. I also say that because the minor leagues take the same league totals as the majors every season (when progressively updated). And minors stats wouldn't mirror the majors overall stats in reality.

So then, it would seem that while the majors are, as I said, being statistically corralled by those league totals, the minors are running free, and pumping out stats based upon the individual player ratings.

Which leads me to ask two questions:

1) On what date (or event) are the league totals updated when progressing historically?

2) What would happen if we did this:

a) allowed league totals to be updated for upcoming seasons
b) turned off league totals until season was completed
c) turned league totals on once more for updating, then off again after updating, and so on

I am wondering if the game will then function according to player ratings only (as you'd have your modifiers in place), allowing the players to post up stats as they possibly could.

Of course, I could be completely missing the boat here with the whole system.
